The
RAZR V3's design takes the standard clamshell form
factor to the next level with an impressive,
anodized aluminum construction. A large 176 x 220
color display with 262,000 colors dominates the
inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the
handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color
display that can display pictures, time, call
information, battery and signal strength, and more.
The VGA camera lens is housed above this display.
Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for
volume control while a voice button on the right
side of the unit allows you to enter voice memos and
create voice dialing profiles. Most of the phone's
features and on-screen menus are controlled by a
five-way center button on the handset's backlit
control pad, which is precision cut from a single
sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A charging port
and USB data cable port is placed on the bottom of
the phone.
Calling Features
The RAZR V3's internal phone book can hold up to
1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system
allows you to assign pictures to your most common
callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as
well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of
your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls.
A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone
and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular
Wireless' MEdia service. There's even an included
application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own
ringtones. For times when you want to be discreet,
there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone
makes it easy to talk without having the phone to
your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling
your friends, family and associates as easy as
saying their names.
Because the RAZR V3 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless
headsets can be configured with the phone for total
handsfree operation.

The RAZR V3 is a messaging and wireless Internet
powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and
receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video
via messages. When used in combination with the

up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant
messaging is also supported via AOL Instant
Messenger and the phone ships with a built-in email
client with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP
protocols (Cingular messaging charges apply).
